My Favorite Fall Dessert Recipe
Yep, I’m going there.
It’s barely September and I’m talking pumpkin.
I do apologize…but I just can’t help it.
You see, I never really liked pumpkin until last year…
I still can’t be bothered with pumpkin pie or anything that hard core…but pumpkin flavored stuff? I’m all over that.
And these cookies are the best of both.
There is pumpkin in them (and pumpkin pie spice), but they are still most definitely chocolate chip cookies.
Which is a major win all around.
Oh, and can I just say that I added some of these new super yummy Pumpkin Spice M&Ms to some of my cookies…just for experiment sake.. and they were perfect!
It’s a really fun adaptation if you can find them. I think they are sold exclusively at Target.
Chewy Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
Yep, Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies… Do it.
How to Make Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies:
Anyhow, let’s get down to details.
I started with 3/4 cup of pumpkin…
And beat that with some butter…I added a bit of pumpkin pie spice to amp up the pumpkin-ness.
And of course chocolate chips…
These cookies don’t require any dough chilling, which is always a bonus! The pumpkin helps keep them a little “taller”.
Bake them until they are golden around the edges and the tops are just set…
They are so yummy for this time of year. Such a fun spin on your usual chocolate chip cookie!

Love the idea of pumpkin chocolate chip cookies! Sounds yummmy!
LOVE LOVE LOVE Pumpkin stuff! Makes me so happy to be seeing all the pumpkin love going on. AND these are at the top of my list! 🙂
Pumpkin spice M&Ms? I am jealous>_<
I am pumpkin addict, that I have to stock up on canned and frozen when they go out of season. I can not wait to try the pumpkin recipes you come up with.
It’s barely Sept and I feel like sooooo late already with not posting pumpkin (later this week though) b/c some ppl started in mid August!
Your cookies look so good. I made some pumpkin choc chip cookies last year and wish I could try those pumpkin M&Ms. And I was JUST at Target today, too. Darn! Pinned!
There’s only one Target in my town and it’s about 45 minutes away. It’s a blessing and a curse. I miss out on a lot of Target awesomeness, but it probably saves me a ton of money. These cookies look great. I’m crazy for pumpkin. Keep it comin’.
Never too early for pumpkin!
Love me some pumpkin CCC’s!! They look amazing girl 🙂 xoxo
Hooray for pumpkin season! I love how you added Pumpkin Spice M&M’s to some of the cookies! Great idea! These look so yummy!
LOL! I just made a pumpkin chocolate chip cookie today! I love the spice you added to yours and the M&M’s! So fun!
Yussss!! I definitely need to try these!
